Slow-Cooked Lamb Ragu
It doesn't get much better than the rich, savory flavor created by simmering your ragu all day long. Just knowing that you have this robust, juicy browned meat simmering while you work through those snow piles is enough to make your mouth water.

Add the lamb along with chopped onions, carrots and garlic to your slow cooker.

Then add the rosemary, fresh sage and red wine.

Crush the tomatoes in the can using a fork and then add them, and their juices, to your slow cooker.

Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours (the longer it cooks, the more tender it will be)

Before serving, go through the dish with two forks to break up any remaining meat chunks.

Serve over bed of your favorite pasta, season with salt and pepper and enjoy!

Once you've got the ingredients, just throw them into your slow cooker and you'll have a tasty beef brisket and onion dish.

Slow-Cooked Beef Brisket and Onions
Another great meal for a cold winter's night, this amazing and satisfying recipe for brisket and onions is sure to be a big hit with the whole family.

Ingredients:

3 1/2 pounds beef brisket

1 1/2 pounds yellow or red onions, sliced in half moons

6 cloves garlic, minced

Directions

Cook onions in a skillet with olive oil over medium heat, stirring frequently, for about 20 minutes until they have lightly caramelized.

Pat the beef brisket dry and season with salt and pepper.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and turn your vent fan on. Sear the brisket until a golden brown crust appears on both sides of the meat.
